Mr. Crawfurd, who is better known in literature under his notn de flume of
John Latouche, has resided for many years in Portugal and has had exceptional opoortunities
" for becoming thoroughly acquainted with the country and its people.
The whole book, indeed, is excellent, giving the reader not information
only, but appreciation of Portugal, its climate, its people and its ways. It is not a
New York Evening Post.
book of travel, but a book of residences, if we may say
" so."
Mr. Crawfurd's admirable book is most opportune,
and his long residence in
the country, his intimate and critical knowledge of the language, history, poetry, and
the inner life of the people, render him an authority
as safe to follow as he is pleasant.
